Chapter 106 The Two Ships' Debate

Should the road leading to the core area be opened or closed?

This issue……

We can debate it.

Li Zhe knew that once it was activated, his Universe 7 would be completely drawn into direct competition and even conflict with other universes.

This is a strategic choice that requires careful consideration.

This road sign is like Pandora's box.

Once opened, it can never be closed again.

He wasn't the kind of reckless person who would rush forward on a whim.

Especially when faced with a choice that concerns the fate of the entire world.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to see what these two ship spirits, with their vastly different styles, thought about this matter...

Therefore, Li Zhe initiated a unique "strategic seminar" in the reception room of the "Platinum Star".

He sat calmly in the main seat.

He took a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea and acted as the arbitrator.

"Regarding whether or not to immediately activate the beacon in the core area of ​​the Steel Empire's 0th floor, you two should share your opinions."

Hoshi and Kazuko, two beautiful figures, stood on his left and right sides respectively.

The atmosphere in the entire reception room instantly became somewhat subtle.

"I'll come first!"

Kazuko, without hesitation, stepped forward first.

She was still dressed in her red and white shrine maiden outfit, and the "Kikuichimonji" katana at her waist made her look incredibly dashing and heroic.

Those obsidian-like eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, filled with the determination and pride of a samurai.

"I believe we must activate the road signs immediately and seize the initiative!"

Her voice was clear and powerful, full of undeniable confidence.

"Firstly, in terms of strength, we are already invincible in the Abyss Level 0 area. Continuing to waste time on those worthless fry is a complete waste of time."

Kazuko extended a slender finger, and behind her appeared a magnificent phantom of the Yamato's main guns firing in unison, exuding an imposing aura.

"Commander, your current base combat strength has reached 9.99, and you are only one step away from breaking through."

"According to the intelligence provided by Xing, even against the guards in the core area whose combat power starts at 10.0, we have the ability to fight them."

"Moreover, there's the assistance of Xing and me."

"In the ultimate form of the 'Trinity,' our combined combat power is enough to sweep away everything!"

She paused, then her tone became even more impassioned.

Secondly, regarding timing, opportunities are fleeting.

"The mech pilots from other universes have already taken the lead over us, exploring the core area for quite some time."

"Every night we enter a new day means that our precious resources, crucial intelligence, and even the advantage in defeating the BOSS will be completely divided up by others!"
"We must rise up and catch up, and make up for lost time!"

Finally, in an almost declarative tone, she stated unequivocally:

Thirdly, let's talk about spirit and ambition.

"Commander, you are the first strong individual in Universe 7 to be qualified to enter the core area."

"You should display the fearless spirit befitting a king."

"Descending with the force of thunder, to deter those treacherous villains from other universes."

"How can we stand still and cower here?!"

His words were powerful and inspiring.

Li Zhe listened and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

This little Kazuko is a bit of a chuunibyou (delusional) and arrogant person at times.

But in terms of overall perspective, she does indeed have a queen-like demeanor.

However, just as Kazuko finished speaking...

Xing's cold and rational voice instantly extinguished the passionate atmosphere.

"Your argument contains three fatal logical flaws and carries a potential strategic risk of up to 87.4%." The star's translucent energy body hovered there silently.

Data streams flashed rapidly in his golden eyes.

She raised her hand and projected a series of complex data charts and risk assessment models into the air.

"First, the risks are uncontrollable."

Xing's voice was flat and emotionless.

"Even though I have access to the Star Mech Corps' central database, given my current access level and the strange 'fog of war' state currently on Planet Blue 7..."

"Our understanding of the core area of ​​the Steel Empire is still severely lacking."

"I only know that the minimum combat power of a Tier Guardian is 10.0, but I know nothing about its specific abilities, attack patterns, or even the surrounding environment."

"Entering rashly is tantamount to running naked in pitch-black darkness, making one extremely vulnerable to being jointly attacked by other cosmic forces, or falling into a trap already laid by the abyss."

She paused, then switched to another chart.

"Second, the butterfly effect."

"Activating the beacon means that Universe 7 will officially be exposed to the view of all forces on a transdimensional level."

"Commander, as the initiator, the responsibilities and consequences you bear will far exceed your imagination."

"Once Universe 7 is marked by a higher-level abyss, everything we currently possess could vanish in an instant."

"Until we have a strong enough trump card to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

"Hiding behind the scenes and accumulating strength is the safest option."

Kazuko's face turned bright red as she listened to her well-reasoned analysis.

I tried to argue back several times, but couldn't find any angle to start.

Finally, Xing presented her core argument.

"The third and most critical point is."

Xing's gaze turned to Li Zhe.

"Commander, we still have an agreement to fulfill."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment...

seemingly……

Is there really such a thing?

Hmm, what's up?

Li Zhe remained expressionless, only nodding to Chao Xing.

Xing responded: "Three days ago, you made a divination deal with Liu Yi of Universe 1."

"The time to fulfill the vow is today."

"The 'magical mecha pilots' from Universe 1 possess a mysterious divination ability, though it may seem ethereal."

"But according to my data analysis, it may contain some kind of higher-dimensional information detection technology that we have not yet understood."

“We can use this deal to get more information from her about the ‘Key to the Dimension’, or even about your own destiny.”

"To settle this matter of cause and effect and to plan carefully before acting is the best way to maximize our current interests."

Xing's analysis is clear, logical, and well-organized.

What seemed like a delaying "transaction agreement" has been elevated to the level of a strategic plan.

Kazuko was completely convinced.

Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that Xing's considerations were indeed much more comprehensive than hers.

After listening to their debate, Li Zhe made his decision.

He stood up, walked onto the deck, and looked at the boundless sea.

"What Xing said makes sense."

He spoke slowly, making the final decision.

"Let's put the matter of activating the road beacon on hold for now."

"Let's go and meet our friend from Universe 1 first."
